[MPlayer-users] Live radio stream dies immediately

  Hi,
  I can't help, but I did try dumping the stream to a file. It's weird,
  the audio pops in, then drops out, repeatedly. I can't even describe
  it accurately, but apparently it's doing about the same for both of
  us.

  I'm not sure if that "audio scrambling" message in your log could have
  something to do with it or not, but I don't recall seeing it before.

  Maybe somebody knows more, sorry I couldn't help more.

  Take care,
  Steve
